1. New York. The Big Apple welcomes the holiday with a large parade since 1762. The organizers of the parade expect that this year the number of viewers will exceed 1 million people. Many people say that there is no better place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and then New York. It is best to expect very large crowds, as there will be at least 155,000 participants in the parade. Nevertheless, you will feel the atmosphere of St. Patty’s Day with the sound of bagpipes and green beer literally everywhere. Famous travelers will go there early to go to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. After the parade is over, expect the crowds to gather in many Irish pubs that are located throughout the city.

2. St. Louis, Missouri. This city in the middle of the west is struggling when it comes to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. To start the festivities, on March 14 will be five miles.

On the night of the 17th, it is expected to find many people in numerous pubs throughout the city.
